!WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect power to dishwasher before servicing, unless testing requires power.

Manual Function Test

A Manual Function Test may be started by pressing the Normal Wash key 5 times followed by the Start key within 6 seconds.

Drain Motor

Light Wash

Water Valve

Rinse Only

Soap Dispenser (cycle once)

Sanitize

Rinse Aid (cycle twice)

Vent

Heated Dry

Heating Element

When a component is activated by pressing a specific keypad, the LED above the keypad will be On. The test will cancel 120 seconds after the last keypad is pressed. The display (if available) will show ‘99’ until the remaining timeout period is less than 99 seconds. At this point it will countdown until the mode times out, is cancelled, or another key is pressed. To cancel test, press the Start / Cancel keypad.

Sales Floor Demo Mode

Press Extra Rinse keypad 5 times within 6 seconds. The LEDs will illuminate in a progressive order until all are lit. All LED’s will stay on for 1 second then all go off simultaneously. The display (if available) will begin at ‘50’ and sequence down to ‘0’ at a 1 second interval and repeat until this mode is terminated. This mode will repeat.

To cancel, press the Start / Cancel keypad.

Diagnostic Tips

To check control LEDs, enter Sales Floor Demo Mode. If control fails to perform as described, replace control. To check control and components, enter Field Service Test. If control fails to perform sequence as described, and a fault is detected, determine failure as described in the Field Service Test. If a load component failure has been diagnosed, proceed to the Manual Function Test. To check individual load components for proper operation, enter Manual Function Test. Follow test procedure as described. Repair or replace component as needed.

Note: The High Current or Low Current Motor Error may be detected during a wash cycle selected by a consumer. If this happens, the control will go into a 30 second auto restart mode and shut down if the unit is not able to restart the motor.

User-friendly controls are another attractive feature of these dishwashers. The intuitive electronic controls allow for easy selection of wash cycles and options, with various settings tailored to different load types and levels of soil. The delayed start feature gives you the flexibility to schedule wash cycles according to your convenience.
